Results In 20 cases, the maximal size of flap was 7.0 cm?6.5 cm, and the minimal size was 6.0 cm?4.5 cm, and except the distal part necrosis in one flap, and wound dehiscence in nasal collumella in another flap, all other flaps survived. Followed up for 3 months to 2 years, all reconstructed noses showed satisfactory shapes. Conclusion The method is a new design technique for nose reconstruction with ideal nose appearance, and worth to be recommended.
